The Berger Strasse, the backbone of the Frankfurt quarter Bornheim, has lots of nice restaurants. The Sonamu is one of them.
The Sonamu
The restaurant owner must have a great liking for wood – there is wood on the outside, wood on the ceiling, the walls, the floor… With an occasional red accent providing some relief and saving the place from looking like a finnish sauna.
The menu is small, but you can find the traditional Korean dishes with some variations. Each serving comes with side orders (one of them kimchi, of course).
sol dot bi bim bap
I must admit that I always order the same thing, for I do like the taste so much. A bi bim bap but with a twist. They add rocket, egg and a sliced apple, which brings a wonderful freshness to this dish.
Gobblinggermanman has also found something to his taste: A soup with vegetables based on a beef broth. It is hot due to chilli flakes that are roasted with the beef before being added to the soup.
yuk ge chang
The service is quick and friendly and more often than not a visit to the local food market at Bornheim Mitte (which is open wednesdays and saturdays) has led us to the impromptu decision to have lunch at this place.
